Personally, as trivial as it may seem, I'm hoping for a less painful way of diagnosing when drawing blood....ugh, no more needles. How frustrating it must be for those with diabetes.Peter Diamandis has talked about something like this alot….something about his X Prize working with Qualcomm to have a cell-phone diagnose you as good, or better, then a team of board certified doctors.

A credit card sized doctor in your pocket or on your phone. Nice.I wonder how long until this type of tech can warn us about vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and amplified biomarkers?

For something that can test for so many diseases/conditions/etc. without a single electrical component and only one drop of blood is simply amazing. I look forward to where this reasearch will lead as they begin to improve it.Very cool stuff. The beautiful part is how simple it is.

Already this shows great improvement in the user interface but there is still a long way to go. $10 for one of these. Is this device reusable? I feel that too many things like this are designed for profit these days - i.e. give away printers but charge for skimpy ink cartridges ... or much worse, give away blood glucose meters but charge $1 for a simple piece of test paper. Over and over again you see this pattern.These types of “chips” are getting better all the time.

Have you heard anything more about the use of graphene for reverse osmosis desalinization, Amara?Imagine all the children who will now grow to maturity in Africa, Asia and South America. Somebody has to hurry up the research for greening all the deserts of those continents.
